  1. J'ai lu en audio Ligéia, une nouvelle d'Edgard Allan Poe, et toute l'inquiète grandiloquence romantique pour ornementer l'absurdité du sujet m'ont fait pouffer plein de fois
    Edgard Poe en auteur comique, je ne m'y attendais pas.

  3. I think I figured out the thing that was bugging me about Dune. The Eugenics and the pro-feudalism/feudalism-is-inevitable bugs me alot but something else bugged me and I think I finally put my finger on it: the future is written/fate is real/inevitable is inevitable/powerful people can tell you to quit trying because they can see the future. That's Paul's superpower, it's also the dominant philosophy, and it messes up the potential for any radical changes. ... #Dune #StarWars #Ligeia

  5. What did Poe mean when he described Ligeia's hair as "hyacinthine"? He had previously described her hair color as "raven-black", so obviously the "gold" definition doesn't fit here. But how did this word come to mean both blueish purple in non-hair contexts and gold in hair contexts??
